Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[MusicalAstronaut]

Can you go in and modify the dates if you catch it prior to Disney cancelling it?

Sadly no. When they stopped accepting reservations for June, they stopped letting you modify it in June too, even just making it shorter. I tried. ((((

Hi Shoegal - was just reading this thread as a former Q1 at Epcot and saw that you are an immigration attorney - is it possible to contact you somehow to discuss a few questions I have? Consider it a jumpstart/initial case study to your dream job! Thanks so much

I would love to- but I am employed by the federal government and therefore I cannot provide immigration legal counsel. But USCIS has information about immigration service providers/legal help at this link: https://www.uscis.gov/avoid-scams/find-legal-services. I hope this is helpful!

Does anyone know if DVC is allowing June reservations? I rented points so I can’t check myself.
Thanks!!

Yes, DVC members are able to reserve rooms in June.

 

[MickeyEars]

Thank you!!

 

[jflanderbo1]

Yes, they are still allowing June reservations for the entire month. I have reservations for the 6th to the 19th.

I also wonder if “phased reopening” refers to the capacity rather than specific parks.

Resort guests only?

 

[jflanderbo1]

They're also accepting them for the end of May, so wouldn't bank on if you'll actually get to use them or not.

I can see available villas for the entire month of a June. But that doesn’t mean that I can book them.

 

[Eric Smith]

Sven is that you????

You’ve caught me

 

[Janet McDonald]

The Orange County department of health was on site at Walt Disney World and SeaWorld earlier today to review their procedures for reopening, which is part of the signoff for tomorrow.

Do you know if they were at all four parks?

I booked a room recently for June (actually cancelled June 3rd and booked June 18th). So, if you go to reserve a villa in the member portal for June, the transaction will go through.

No we don’t.

Let’s recall exactly what Sven said, just for the record.

1)They may not open then, but they will not open before June 15.
2)Only the MK will open
3) NO FAST PASSES, NO CHARACTER MEETINGS AND VERY LIMITED RESTAURANTS.
4)There will be a "digital registry" for rides.
5)Epcot will open last


If he gets that all right, he will be forever a legend on the Dis. He may already be.

Well, personally I hope Sven/Flynn/Finn is wrong about some of those things. I've been torturing myself trying to fix our fast passes.

He so far probably has one of those right with June 15. That's going by reservations that have been cancelled

 

[Spaceguy55]

IF Sven is right , then maybe the Cm's schedule comes out soon after the announcement ...that will give them about 2 weeks till the 15th and WDW will only be 10 days behind UO.

Out of all those things, I've got my money on 3 & 4.

I'll amend no character meetings to no typical character meetings. Shanghai is doing from a distance stuff, right?

 

[Quackers600]

In regards to a June 15th reopening date, has anyone considered like Shanghai, that WDW may open only to cast members first for limited test runs? It seems likely to me, but I could be off base.

 

[KayMichigan]

I'm glad we're finally going to get some solid information!

Place your bets now! I hope it's June 15 but it wouldn't surprise me if it was July.

Anything and everything is possible.
